These are the first vids I've ever taken. I apologize for the fact that they suck. I've got to work out the lighting and camera. I need two more arms I guess.

Haven't kept up with this thread for a while! Gawgeous Ts.
What size is your P. Sazimai? I'm dying to see mine turn that colour!

Hi Baby T. Thanks. I would say my P. sazimai is a good 1.5"-1.75". Here is a US quarter for comparison. Last Molly there was just a hint of subtle blue and you could really only see it in bright light. With this latest molt the blue is much more brilliant.

Wow it's been a hot minute since I posted here.
Big things are happening though. Rehousing, lots of rehousing and a second shelving unit to hold all the enclosures.
I've got a couple done already, and yesterday I mixed up a giant batch of substrate for the rest.

Brachypelma boehmei


Tliltocatl albopilosus

I must say I like the way these enclosures are turning out.


And a full tub of substrate mixed and ready to use.


I was in a pinch so I bought a brick of coco fiber from, of all places Walmart. It's the best coco I've ever used. I've tried every brand out there and this stuff doesn't have any of those long fibers. Pure shredded coconut. I'll be going back to get some more.
